MIDYEAR RELEASESThe Villages Just Keep Getting Better
On May 11, 2001 Department 56 announced their midyear pieces. After a little initial confusion and realignment of the introductions, the outlook for the rest of the year looks better than ever. The Crystal Ice Palace, now listed as Christmas in the City after a brief listing as Alpine Village, is a must have for all collectors. Other must have pieces are the CITC Yankee Stadium, SV Drive-in Theater, and the new Snowbaby guest Collection pieces with Frosty the Snowman. Lots of great pieces are in the future for the avid collector. If you want to see the complete list of releases, Click Here
HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY VILLAGE CHRONICLE
Congratulations to Peter and Jeanne George of the Village Chronicle on the 10th anniversary of their magazine. The chronicle has long been a staple of information and ideas for the village collector, and we wish Peter and Jeanne the best of luck and continued success.
